AC was quiet, the staff friendly and informative, towels soft and the location perfect. Walk to amazing food, the Embarcadero, and watch the sun set over the water from a rooftop bar. Walk to Balboa Park and the zoo. Hop the trolley or coaster for added adventure. Its all there.

Parking was a bit difficult to find. People were playing pool at 1:30 am. I went and asked if they could please not play because we were sleeping. I suggest a time schedule so they don’t play after 10 o’clock other than that everything was great.

Excellent stay !! Many restaurants and bars near by. The room was very spacious and clean, though it was in need of a good dusting but it was clean where it counted. The air conditioner was excellent and the bathrooms were nice with modern updates. The staff was amazing and very helpful and we loved the snacks and drinks available in the common area. The parking situation was not great but we made it work. We would definitely stay here again.
